I took this code straight from the w3 schools example, however, outside of their “Tryit Editor” it doesn’t work for me. Any ideas?

    You can only make an AJAX request to a location on the current domain, unless you are requesting a JSONP response. This is a security feature in all browsers. Google for ‘Same origin policy’ and ‘Cross site scripting’ for more info.

    The workaround is to use a server-side proxy to request the data from the external domain, then use jQuery to query your local proxy.
